Tail Swipe[1] (テイルストライク Teiru Sutoraiku?, lit. "Tail Strike") is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a POW move used by Dragodons, in which they attack with their tail.

Description[]

When performing Tail Swipe, the Dragodons crawl up to their opponents where they swing their powerful tail across their foes before retreating back to their spot.

In gameplay, Tail Swipe deals attack damage to all playable characters present. This attack will (without player influence) always hit the opponents, regardless of their stats.[1] When dealing damage, Tail Swipe has a 30% chance of inflicting Weakened on its targets.[1]

Real-Time Interaction[]

When Tail Swipe is performed in gameplay, the player has to complete a series of real-time events by performing certain actions on the Touch Screen, in order to evade Tail Swipe optimally. If done correctly, the attack will be nullified. For these actions, the player has to touch the inside of three circles in succession when the outer circles overlap the inner circles.

Missing or not touching these circles correctly will increase the chances of the attack connecting.
